PORTABLE PRESSURE DISPENSING SYSTEM Application filed December 26, 1929. Serial No. 416,552.

.ply line through the instrumentality of a bunp; receivable fixture.

lhe lull nature of the invention will be understood irorn the accompanying drawings and the iiollowing descriptmn and claim.

in the drawings, Fig. 1 is a central sec tional view oi a container, mounted tor port ability and with the invention shown in elevation and applied thereto. Fig. 2 is an enlarged central sectional view of the bung fitting and parts carried thereby, a portion being shown in elevation and another portion ceinp; brolren away,

in the drawings indicates a container including a top or head 11 and a hottom 12. The top 11 is provided with the bung openinpr delined by collar construction 13 having a central opening therethrough and internally threaded for receiving a plug closure having an erposed tool engageable portion which is normally mounted therein alter the container has been tilled with the liquid to be dispensed. l-lerein the liquid is indicated by the numeral i l and the level thereof is that when the majority oi the liquid has i been discharged from the container 10. The

container may .be mounted upon a truck or similar device iii tor portability it desired. lhe truclt need not however, he provided although it facilitates the movement of the container to the vicinity oi the high pressure air supply such as commonly provided at till-ingstations remote irom the dispensing portion the station.

it iaucet it including the control and regulating handle l? has threaded connection mg 3ft, which detachabl with the discharge line 18. Discharge line 18 has threaded connection with the upper end of the bung receivable fixture 19 the same including a central tubular portion 20 of greater cross sectional area than line 18.

A flexible conduit 21 extends upwardly through said tubular portion 20 and herein is shown suitably connected to conduit 18 pref erably by a fluid tight connection. Flexible conduit 21 is shown as of slightly less diameter than conduit 18. Conduit 21 extends into conduit 18 and a solder connection or joint 22 seals the same. The flexible conduit 21 terminates in an open fitting which may be simply that of a coupling 23. Mounted therein may be a suitable screen construction it desired or the same may be omitted. The conduit 21 is of a sufficient length to permit intake 23 to rest upon the bottom oi the container. 7

The fixture 19 in addition to including the central tubularchamber 20, includes an intermediate tool engageable portion 25 herein shown hexagonal and the opposite end oi fixture 19 includes an externally threaded skirt 26 receivable by the internally threaded portion 13 defining the bung opening and i i-om which the usual plug" has been previously removed.

Suitably supported by the fixture 19 in the threaded lateral opening 30 is an externally threaded member 31 having the passage 32 therein and provided with a tool engageablc portion 32, whereby the same may he readily mounted in said threaded opening. $1M?" ported by the member 31 is an air valve casthreaded enga ement or t is li struction 31. ounted within the air valve casing 34 is the usual air construction such'as commonly employed in bicycle tires and automobile tires.

The operation of the device is lows Cap 35 is removed and the air chuck of a high pressure air supply hose is applied to the exposed end of air valve casin 34. The

supports, as by e, a cap contill air pressure opens the air valve t erein and requirements therefrom during a day. Each the tank above the liquid. If a source of 1 ;pressure' of the aforesaid character is not available, a hand ump may be applied with equal facility. he air under pressure is stored within container 10 andb'ears down upon the alcohol, lubricating oil or the like and forces the liquid 14 to enter the intake member 23 and flow upwardly through the conduit 21 into discharge 18, when the valve 17 is opened in the faucet or nozzle. A vessel such as a quart measure or the like placed upon the-top of the container and immediately beneath the outletof the faucet will ref ceive the liquid discharged by pressure from the container when the 'faucet is opened. Suflicient pressure can be stored within the container to dispense substantially all the day the air supply may be renewed as previously set forth.

The invention claimed is:

In a fixture for dispensing tanks, a hung fitting comprising an integral body having an enlarged bore extending inwardly from its bottom and an internally threaded tapered bore of reduced'diameter at its top, means for securing the bottom of said body in said tank to communicate with the interior thereof, a discharge line threaded in said reduced bore, a; flexible conduit extending loosely through said larger bore and tightly fitting within the inner end of said discharge line, and an air supply valve in said body communicating with said enlarged bore.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto aflixed my signature.
